Modern Thanksgiving Tablescapes

A Modern Thanksgiving Tablescape

Thanksgiving always reminds me of Fall — actually the best of what Fall has to offer. It is a time to celebrate abundance and riches, however you interpret them. When I was creating this tablescape, I wanted to play up all the wonderful colors that Fall gives us in such showy fashion — rich purples, deep oranges, and golden ambers.

I took my inspiration from traditional elements, like a cornucopia that I used for the centerpiece. However, I opted to fill it with not just pumpkins but with beautiful purple succulents, gourds, flowers, fruits, herbs, and flowers to create a showstopper centerpiece.

In turn, the centerpiece essentially told me how to lay out the rest of the tablescape — royal purples in the dishware and tablecloth, amber in the glassware and touches of reflection in the brass napkin holders and crystal candlesticks.

I got a table that borrowed heavily from traditional elements but didn't get tied to tradition, creating a modern take on the Thanksgiving table . . .
